I like how everything you bought is on 'Customers who also bought this...' Seems like it's showing you're the only person who bought em

Can you narrow it down a bit more, like at all? At least to ones you just like the look of...or: Since you already have an M4, do you want another AR platform? Should your new gun be able to use AR magazines? Do you want it for CQB, or woodland? Would you plan to do a DMR set up, high ROF gun etc etc Do you want a lot of external customisability? If so an M4 would be great but an AUG, SG55x and so on won't have that many options TM Recoil rifles are ~ £415+ You could get a Tippmann M4 for £400 but would be £50 for the air tank, you should factor in the cost of batteries / ammo etc depending on the gun if you don't have any already. There's also a loadout thread and gun picture thread for inspiration as well - and 'Places to Buy' for store recommendations. In terms of making a gun more effective isn't always worth the time or necessary. For example, like the TM Recoils shouldn't need any upgrades -besides maybe a slightly higher power spring as they only shoot about 250 OOTB AFAIK- Just do general maintenance and use quality BBs, that is the easiest way to get good performance from any airsoft gun.

Could get a Gen 1 Flyye Fast Action PC for £70 + WAS pouches A WAS DCS will be around £100 for the base PC itself but again cheap pouches though

Only Halo Mill AFAIK and maybe the Skirmish place in Sheffield, can't remember the area / full name of it

It's an airsoft forum, take a wild guess.

Am I right in thinking WBB aren't even sold over here? And they're pretty expensive anyway. Get a 6.03. The closest correct length barrel should be sold as a 300mm or 267mm (usually 267mm is for used for 10.5" outer barrel M4s but in reality they're longer, closer to 300)

Can't remember where I first found out about airsoft, although I think like most people the interest started with 'bb guns' cheap plinkers. Had a spring 1911 type thing, a GSG M9 which was actually quality, and a DE M56 at first. Then found a GroupOn deal so we could hire for £20 / £25 rather than like £45 so had to give it a go, that was at the old F&O Hey Wood site near Huddersfield. Shame they don't do it there anymore afaik, was close and seemed like a very good site too.

and a compact first aid kit off Amazon

Swiss Arms / UTG / Nikko Stirling etc would work but the majority of airsoft replicas don't work with guns that have a recoil feature.

As with any airsoft gun you hear the difference between when there is / is not anything being fired.

The S-Thunder launcher doesn't look like a gun so you don't need a defence.

What about a stubby 4" RIS M4 like this? http://www.taiwangun.com/en/pj4-cqb-navy-p-j?from=listing&campaign-id=14 Similarly there's also the G&G Firehawk but I wouldn't get the newer model which is a full auto only one. They're under £200, under weight requirement, are AR platform so will accept M4 magazines and A&K / G&G are TM style so plenty of manufacturers making replacement internal and external parts. I know G&Gs will work with PTS PMAGs, not sure if you mean EMAGs / EPMs? Can't think if PTS has made any non-Magpul magazines yet or not. Don't know about the A&K (P&J) Can of course have a sling plate on the buffer tube (e.g. a Magpul clone ASAP is £4 off Ali Express)

7.4V = No upgrades really needed 11.1V = Lots of upgrades needed

Not justifiable at all. What is the point? There are loads of eBay based airsoft retailers as well this is gonna harm. Start a petition or summut get em to remove it

Don't be a dick for fucks sake. You could've just waited a bit and got it legitimately. It is not hard nor does it take a long time to be able to acquire a valid defence. You can't just 'borrow' a UKARA number anyway which nobody is willing to do because you're clearly being a nob about it.

Look at CYMA AKs from TaiwanGun and factor in a tenner for shipping from Poland You're looking at two pretty different guns there. Unless you specifically want the support variant go for a normal AK rifle platform

Looks good Ed, I'd thought of the same idea using an APS GLR-16 stock (has a Picatinny rail on the side) Gonna try the same thing with my AUG but that won't be til about November

Welcome

Very true you are completely right there Duck. I do hate it when everyone leaves just negative comments about the guns and need to stop doing that myself. Isn't going to give a good impression especially as airsoft is supposed to be so inclusive and welcoming, and criticising his choices won't do owt but make em think we're all elitist dickheads

So you mean a plate carrier right or more of a tactical vest / chest rig? I would've said something like the RICAS / CIRAS or Flyye OTV. The latter is around £60 from Military1st (I think)

Oh...I see all your guns are from JBBG tbh with what you've spent on all those shit ones you could have saved and got something at least decently skirmishable But anyway I didn't even know there were 7.4V NiMh batteries? I'm assuming they're not gonna include a LiPo in with it. If you upgrade the battery to a 7.4V LiPo the gun probably won't be able to handle it because I think the gearbox will be all plastic. So you will be running at potentially too high ROF / voltage for stock internals. Might strip the gears / piston? But idk much about internals in that respect. Changing to a LiPo would need another charger as well so around ~ £15+ And speaking of which you won't be able to upgrade it because LPEGs are not made to be compatible with normal airsoft bits. Try to find another 7.4V NiMh if anything...batteries that come included with guns are always bad quality anyway no matter what the brand In terms of tightening the buffer tube should just be screwing the castle nut tight again? Or take it off put it back on to make sure it's in right sort of thing. I guess you do mean the buffer tube and not the stock itself which is wobbly?

Once I start airsofting more I think it will be my local site, that or Alpha One near Wakefield. I was gonna buy some comms but pretty unnecessary spend unless you are in a team, otherwise I don't think anyone else will use em and it won't be worth it. Especially if you don't have radios already and gotta go buy them too you're looking at like £70 for walkie-talkies + headset + PTT unit (at least ~$40 from somewhere like AirsoftPeak or other China / HK retailers)
